Inventory and analysis of tree injuries in a rockfall-damaged forest stand [PDF]
, 2018 Rockfall is a major threat to settlements and transportation routes in many places. Consequently, the protective function of mountain forests has recently gained particular interest. However, much is still unknown about the ideal properties of protective
